Will2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Awesome little space. Loved the outdoor seating and sitting in the hot tub watching the birds feeding at the seed station. Would 100% recommend the wood fired pizza from the in house dining menu!

Michael2016-03-06T00:00:00Z

We could not have felt more welcome, it was a real home from home. It was especially good having our own space but knowing Richard & Tania were there if needed. Can't wait to return.

Sandra2016-02-24T00:00:00Z

Tania & Richard have a true understanding of hospitality and how to make guests feel welcome. The apartment was neat, clean & well equipped, it's evident that our hosts have an eye for detail. A great apartment in a tranquil location, I would recommend this to all my friends.

Paul2015-12-15T00:00:00Z

Tania and Richard were lovely, perfect welcome so we were familiar with everything in the studio and garden but also left us to our own devices so we could enjoy our night away without interruption. The listing is exactly the same in real-life as it is on the pictures and description here, a real little haven with beautiful birds, a gorgeous hot tub and pool and modern facilities. We went to the St Andrews market and also to Healesville Sanctuary before heading back to Melbourne all within an hours drive pretty much and all great. We took our own food to cook, so can't comment on the offering from local pubs, Tania and Richard have a catering business so I'm sure their food would have been lovely too had we taken that option! x

Katharine2015-09-12T00:00:00Z

We had a such a good and relaxing time at Hurtsbridge Haven. The house is very comfortable with everything we need inside. We had a wonderful birds show everyday! Richard and Tania are really nice and welcoming, we've even tried the hot wine cooked by Tania and it was so delicious. Also, we really enjoyed chilling in the hot tub! That's was so cool and unexpected! They respected our intimacy and we really appreciated it. We definitely come back as soon as we can. Warmly recommended!

David2015-08-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great time! Tania and Richard are very considerate hosts. From quick, thoughtful email/phone responses to little touches in the room that just made it so comfy and lovely and lucious! I suprised my fiance for our aniversary and we stayed with our 7 month old bubba for the night. It was a wonderful experience and even though we only live half an hour away it was a real holiday experience:) . The breakfast hamper was wonderful value. Super Comfortable bed. Gorgeous garden and pool/spa area. The fact so many people have left such positive reviews after only doing this a few months says alot about how nice this stay is.

Yoyoe2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

Absolutely loved our stay at Hurstbridge Haven! Tania met us as we arrived and ensured we had everything that we needed, she prepared the spa for us to use which was such a nice touch to our stay! The accommodation was just lovely, set in a beautiful peaceful environment. The place was cosy, clean, and very well equipped, not to mention the bed was extremely comfy! We loved everything about Hurstbridge Haven, I highly recommend for anyone to stay. It is just beautiful. Thank you Tania and Richard for having us :)

Beautiful property that invited you to relax instantly. Lovely hosts. The bottle of wine was a nice extra and the furnishing's and comfy bed were delightful. This listing is better than described as you have downstairs area to yourself with cinema if you desire. Very private and I would definately stay again. Was so refreshed.

Melissa2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Helen is the 'hostess with the most-ess', providing not only a comfortable nook to base your travels from, but she goes above and beyond providing for her guests. We extended our stay we enjoyed it so much. We loved her recommendations too - Volumes and Monslavat were our favourites.

Tara2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

Immaculate, comfortable apartment, a cut above the rest. Beautiful bush-land setting complete with kangaroos, kookaburras and lots of other birdlife. Hosts were very warm and hospitable but not intrusive. Highly recommended (for those with a car, as indicated in the listing). Well situated for train into the city from Eltham station, or out to the Yarra Valley.

Jo2016-05-14T00:00:00Z

Lovely very clean little apartment. Very peaceful, private and quiet. Cinematic screen was great and the new kitchen is gorgeous! Helen was a lovely generous host and everything was catered for including wine and breakfast :-) Thank you Helen.

I own a beautiful mud-brick home amongst the leafy (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)s in Eltham, part of which has a self-contained studio apartment on the ground level to my split-level dwelling. It has it's own entry and parking space and is ideal for mature adults.

Eltham is a leafy suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne. It is known as a hub for artists and nature lovers, as it is surrounded by native bush.

This place was the perfect set up for a quiet, romantic weekend away, with our pet dog. The space was cosy, eclectic, and homely. Montsalvat was nearby (and lovely!), and some nice nature tracks only a quick drive away.

Atika made us feel very welcome! Everything was hassle free and the property so lovely- such a shame we couldn't stay longer!

Megan2015-11-23T00:00:00Z

Atika is a lovely host. Friendly and warm whilst also giving her guests space. The self contained pad she offers is in luscious bush surrounds, and beautifully crafted with a blend of modern and mudbrick. Set at the rear of her house it is a lovely private oasis.

Fiona2016-03-19T00:00:00Z

Great place and great area. Atika is a great host and we had a wonderfully relaxing time at her wonderful home. Thank you Atika

Kathi, Jamie and Mia were all very welcoming, and took care to ensure my stay was agreeable, from fresh eggs from their hens to offer of a lift if needed, from nearby Montsalvat. The studio flat was very comfortable and the bush surroundings beautiful and restful. Plus I was invited to use their very pleasant pool. I could not have hoped for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Bronwyn2017-01-30T00:00:00Z

A great little place with pretty and practical decor. A well thought-through living space. And the garden was lovely! Would definitely stay again :)

Alice 2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

Kath is a great host; everything we needed for a 1 night stay (we were attending a party nearby) was at our fingertips and the queen bed is very comfy. Loved the resident chooks and the pool looks very inviting. Shame we didn't have time to take a dip!

Sophie2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Definetly recommend staying at Kathi's place. Quiet and relaxing. Kathi was very welcoming and friendly. Great place to unwind and enjoy nature on the fringe of suburbia. Hope to go back again!

Joe2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Kathi was an amazing host, they had a lovely family and a very hospitable environment. Kathi provided a lift for my family and I and made sure we had a map and knew how to get home. The place itself was very clean and had a homely feel. Would definitely recommend staying.

Max2016-11-05T00:00:00Z

We had a really nice 2 night stay. The setting is lovely, bushland with plenty of birds while still only 5 minute drive from central Eltham. My kids enjoyed a daily dip in the pool and collecting and eating the fresh laid eggs. The accomodation was clean and comfortable. It suited us for a 2 night stay. There is no oven in the room which was fine for 2 nights as we ate out one night and made a salad the next. Kathi offered us the use of the BBQ if needed. Kathi and her family were very friendly and did their best to make us feel welcome and help in any way. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Janet2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay, I recommend it, for somewhere secluded and the place is an open studio, and the host Kathi is lovely.

This is a well kept space that is very quiet and homely. A comfortable kitchen and lounge area and a nice bedroom. Great place for a secluded getaway. The wine valley is just up the road. The wildlife and birdlife are plentiful, if you go out at night the possums are in the trees. There is even a couple of friendly magpies. Wendy and Phil are great hosts that we could go to if we needed anything. I would recommend this place for the quiet getaway.

Montmorency is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 18 km (11 mi) north-east from Melbourne's CBD. Montmorency was named after a local farm, Montmorency Estate, which in turn was named for the town of Montmorency, Val-d'Oise in France

A space to suit singles/couples only. My home is quiet and peaceful, down a long pebble driveway, away from the street. Sometimes all you hear are the birds and kookaburra's serenading you. The running water in the fish pond, just below the bedroom window will sooth and relax! Enjoy the scent of my handmade aromatherapy soaps and sample creams that I leave in your room on arrival.
As I live in the house I am happy to interact or give your privacy, am happy to help with suggestions on where to visit and where to eat, whether locally or further afield
I love my suburb and over 20 years ago, I said to a friend - "I would love to live here one day", I finally arrived in my beautiful home approx 6 years ago. I love the community feel and friendliness of the people around.
The local village 10 minutes walk away has lots of cafes, and shops for supplies. There are a couple of restaurants and a newly opened wine bar with a great selection of wines and beers.
Train Station is 10 minutes to walk. Bus is approx 5 minute to walk.
There is undercover parking for one car at my property
My pets - I have one boy dog (see picture) and one girl cat and some fish in the pond outside. There is lots of wildlife around!
As I am a clinical aromatherapist, for an extra cost I can offer you a relaxing Aromatherapy massage or facial with a blend of essential oils mixed especially for you.
Myself, Charlie and Audrey look forward to hosting you in our home

Eileen made us feel very welcome and her hospitality was much appreciated. Location was convenient to where we had a function.

Brigid2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

Eileen is a wonderful hostess and her home is lovely and cosy. My stay was a brief one for work purposes, but Eileen made me feel very much 'at home'. The room is lovely and I enjoyed meeting her very cute little dog, Charlie. I thoroughly recommend Eileen's accommodation to anyone staying in Melbourne.

Bronwyn2015-08-22T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying at Eileen's place. She was gracious and hospitable, and the accommodation was very pleasant. Her house is in a nice neighborhood, with sidewalks for getting places. The train station is nearby, but we were mainly visiting people who lived close to her home. Eileen made us feel welcome and provided what we needed (linens, etc.), but did not make us feel like intruders. We made free use of her kitchen to fix our quick breakfasts. We happily recommend Eileen's place to others. This was our very first AirBnB experience, and it was so positive we will certainly make use of this service when we travel to other places.

Marcus2015-07-27T00:00:00Z

Eileen was great in that she made her place available for my stepfather at short notice when it become clear our place was not big enough for all of us. He enjoyed his stay and we're grateful for the hospitality she afforded him during his stay.

Shane2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

Eileen welcomed us warmly from the front door. The delightful scent of the soap she makes added to the welcome, and we were happy with the amenities (all described accurately in her ad). We were grateful to be able to make our own breakfasts in her tidy kitchen, and walked around the pretty suburban roads in the area.

Enjoy trees, birds and a river in this appartment in quiet residential street. Hear birdsong, no traffic. 15 minutes walk to the train station, 30 minutes drive to the city centre. Suit a couple or two singles. Ample storage in shed/garage below.

This is a great apartment in a quiet part of Melbourne yet close enough to work in the city.
We are seeking a renter for at leat 1 month, or even the whole period 17 May - 26 June. So if you only need a place for a day or two perhaps this is not for you.

Greensborough is a scenic outer suburb of Melbourne which has good local shops, sports facilities, banks etc. The river outside the apartment is a beautiful feature for morning walks, a jog to keep fit or cycle to the train station. For keen cyclists, a 90 minute cycle along the river gets you into the city centre.

We were delighted with everything about Rose's place! It is a clean, comfortable and beautiful apartment, with its own very private entrance and outlook on a lovely garden. There are lots of beautiful gum trees near the property, full of bird life...we loved hearing and seeing the kookaburras, magpies, rosellas & galahs every day! The apartment itself is very spacious, with high ceilings and large windows & a bright outlook. The furniture is top quality and comfortable, with a brand new tv. The kitchen has everything you'd need. We also appreciated being able to do our laundry right there. Rose is a gracious hostess. We were delighted to not only be greeted by her on arrival, but to receive a lovely arrival gift of wine and snacks. We were privileged to be her first guests, & we would definitely return!

Mary2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

This was our first airbnb experience and rated it as 5 star accommodation. Everything was super clean and new. The bedding very comfortable with lovely linen. The private garden outlook was an extra bonus together with the welcome nibbles which we ate despite bringing our own food. I think it would be quite possible to have a long stay in this accommodation and would highly recommend it. Barbara

Stay in L'Hexagons' guest house discovering a hidden wonderland of ancient eucalypts and abundant native wildlife.
Glimpse spectacular mountain scenery and have easy access to the food, wine and tourist region of the Yarra Valley.

The guest house was the original accommodation for over 2 years while building the main earth covered Eco house.
Deceptively it is a galvanised iron shell but has double glazed windows, triple insulation, multiple heating and cooling options, is freshly painted and tastefully furnished.
It is an open plan space with separate 2nd bedroom and bathroom/laundry.
There is a single queen bed and 2 single beds in a private bedroom. Another mattress is available to go on the floor to sleep a 5th person where required.

This listing was one of the best we have stayed at. The area was fantastic with both a state park and a scout camp within a short walk's distance of the home and the hosts were extremely welcoming. The home was neat and tidy and was a great area for wildlife. The only downside was not having WiFi or good phone service, but the internet was not even required due to the beauty of the area and all the things that you can do. All in all the experience exceeded our expectations and they stay was extremely pleasant. Props to Anna and Graeme for having the fire lit when we got there.

Thanks for sharing this great bush escape. Beautiful surroundings , but still close to amenities when needed. Friendly hosts, we would definitely consider coming back to stay. Stayed with 2 children and 2 adults.

Such a beautiful setting - ideal as a quick getaway in winter - clean, warm and cozy.

The warm fire was welcoming as was the text with directions. Thank you

Great place to stay and greeted with a few nice home brews in the fridge

Anna and Graeme were very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay very much. It was interesting to learn about the construction and design of their unique home. The surrounding bush and farmland is gorgeous. The home brew and cookies were delicious. It was just lovely to arrive to a lit fire, birdsong and frogs croaking. The perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

Our stay at Gayle and Mark's was a more wonderful getaway than planned. The space is better in person and the land is beautifully maintained with well behaved animals (dogs and horses!). We enquired to set blow up pool to relax for the hot weather and they were happy to accommodate us on their property. The studio has everything you need, and the space is efficient and very clean. Thank you Gayle and Mark!

We had an amazing stay! The accommodation and surrounds were absolutely beautiful. It was quiet and relaxing. We had everything we needed! It was the perfect location - not too far from Melbourne and close to the Yarra valley. We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Gayle!

Nicola2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Gayle has one of the most gorgeous apartments we've stayed in throughout our trip, not only is it brand new, the entire area is totally private and sparkling clean. She reacts promptly to response & is helpful enough to share tips within the estate. We will miss this place & certainly stay back in should we return..

Janicia 2016-05-05T00:00:00Z

The communication with Gayle upon our arrival was clear and she was there to receive us when we arrive. She provided info on where to eat, wineries to go to and introduced us to her property. It was cold when we went and the heater unit in the toilet was really useful. Washer & Dryer were also available on the property. It was a perfect warm cosy little space for me and my husband who were on our honeymoon. I would love to stay at the property again. Thank you Gayle!

Hannah2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Gayle was a great host and the studio was very clean, comfortable and had a great private garden + BBQ.

Sofie2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

Vue di Vin is absolutely beautiful! The apartment itself and the property where it is situated are both amazing. The photos do not do it justice! The apartment was very modern and homely, equipped with everything you would need (with tea and coffee as a nice little touch). The bed was extremely comfortable, we had a great nights sleep! Gayle was very welcoming upon arrival and prompt to reply to any of my queries prior to stay!

Alysha2016-12-03T00:00:00Z

Gayle and Marks place was absolutely beautiful. Quiet, tranquil country property. They are the perfect hosts. Very accommodating . Total privacy. Highly recommended! Thankyou ! Sue and Brian

SUE2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

Perfect for our first anniversary; private, relaxing, modern, well appointed and squeaky clean. Surroundings were verdant gardens, lawns and towering trees. Bed was very comfortable; linen was lovely. Gayle was very thoughtful and the pet pooches were delightful. Such an easy, welcoming experience. Perfect location to the Yarra valley. Highly recommend. Thanks Gayle

The apartment is a French provincial style, elevated, self-contained apartment set on 25 acres in the artisan hills of the Diamond Valley. The apartment is light, airy and modern with stunning views of the country side.

The apartment contains a large, airy bedroom with a king sized bed. There is a spa bath with a separate shower in the bathroom. There is also a kitchenette and sitting room.

While here, visit art studios, enjoy wine tasting at local vineyards or relax by the salt water pool. Enjoy the renowned St. Andrews market on Saturday morning, visit the wood-fired bakery or enjoy a meal at the local pizza and pasta restaurant or pub. The famous Yarra Valley is only 25 minutes away.

A real home away from home...Just what was needed to escape the city for a short period. Joan has a very warm heart as evidenced by a number of small thoughtful things- chocolates , bowl of pistachios, bottle of an award winning shiraz & muscat for after dinner. All amenities were top shelf.. fridge was stocked with ham, salmon, eggs, bred, butter etc.... All unexpected and part of the 'home' experience rather than a detached/ commercial experience The wineries are a short 30 min ride.. Will most certainly go back particularly when grape season is at the peak (own vineyard with award wining pinot) .

Ranjit2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

A truly gorgeous place to stay, with so many special details taken care of by thoughtful hosts. Peaceful and picturesque supper on the balcony with kangaroos roaming below, a lounging breakfast out front in the sun with fruits from the garden and a good espresso maker provided, or else a dip in the pool surrounded by beautifully tended gardens that attract native birds as well as AirBnB-ers. The furnishings are lovely, and the view from the bedroom is divine.

Julie Louise2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place to stay. Gracious and welcoming host. Lots of extra touches that made the stay excellent. Can't wait to come back!

Sean2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Joan's home was wonderful! So peaceful, a great view and we enjoyed walking around the land. We had lots of privacy and Joan helped when necessary. The amenities available were very useful and the space was 100% clean. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Joan

Joel2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing overnight stay at Joan's place after a visit to the Yarra Valley. What an amazing secluded getaway - the pictures don't do it justice. The view from the bedroom was spectacular. Joan's special little touches made the stay even more enjoyable. We are already planning our next visit.

Joan was an amazing host! The place is spacious and beautiful. Better than the pictures! Great view from the bedroom. So good for a summers day to be able to relax by the pool. Relaxing and everything you need for a weekend away. We hope to come back!

Miling2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

This beautifully appointed, immaculate yet homely retreat nestled amongst such gorgeous landscape is the perfect getaway! And thank you to Joan for being a very welcome and informative host; couldn't recommend this enough!

Our experience at Kangaroo Creek Lodge was delightful, it was the ideal place for a relaxing and nature-filled break. The lodge is nestled among natural bush land with valleys full of kangaroos and wildlife all around you. The cottage is nice and has a cute fireplace and a super comfortable mattress. The bathroom has a claw bath and the shower has a great sprinkler with good pressure. Flavia was friendly and wonderful, she made sure to have the fire stove cranking and the cottage warm and toasty for our arrival. She greeted us every morning with pancakes and a fresh fruit smoothie and was also very helpful with advice on local restaurants and places to visit. If you're looking for an affordable nature-filled break with bonus yummy breakfast, this is sure to impress! A&J

Alina2014-08-28T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful place to relax and recharge your batteries. Flavia was a fantastic host, and her home made pancakes, smoothies and scones are to die for. Her kids were lovely playing with our kids. If you are looking to escape from a busy every day life and be surrounded with nothing but peace and quite and wildlife then this is the place to go!

Bonnie2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Kangaroo Creek Retreat was a lovely environment for our short stay. Flavia and her family were very friendly and welcoming.

Zoe2014-12-09T00:00:00Z

Loved this place! Wonderful hosts; warm and welcoming and very generous. If you want to experience the natural environment of the Australian bush, thus is the place to be!

Flavia's place was a wonderful escape, immersed in nature. She greeted us upon arrival, with her beautiful little sons who were a treat to hang out with. The place is just 15/20 minutes from wineries, serving as a great base to explore the region. The property itself is very cosy, with a warm fire and an even better bath! If you get the chance to explore beyond her deck, you'll see kangaroos hopping right past. Definitely recommend Flavia and her family to anyone looking to explore the region or simply to get away in a very quiet, cosy place. Also, try her cooking if you get the chance!

Zubin2016-05-03T00:00:00Z

Beautiful wooden hut in a forest setting, peaceful and quaint location. We felt well rested and really enjoyed the surrounding that our host geneously share with us.

This place is just awesome - so peaceful and beautiful! We observed many kangoroos in the garden and enjoyed the evening at the fireplace. Flavia made a delicious breakfast with homemade pancakes, bread and jam. We would always come back!!
